Can you name the view?

Starting off in the 50's transition to snow and then back down to the beach in the 70's. One of the riders Ben was in an accident earlier this year and his front 4 teeth got knocked out and now needs $11K for implants. Go Fund Me has been setup and anything you can donate would be greatly appreciated. He makes a living as a bike messenger in the city.

Don't recognize the big flat area they're perched on…Griffith Park Observatory adjacent?

Yep....A large group of cyclists partook in the first race of the LA Tourist Race series. This 70 mile self-guided race took participants up Mount Lowe into the snow, down the Gabrielino Trail in the rain, across to the Verdugo Mountains before ending in Griffith Park. Totaling over 9,000′ in elevation, it was a long day for many.
